The Young Wizard Collection
~In a land where darkness rules, one small child finds his way into an old wizards home. Here, where he learns all about dark magic, his heart finds true beauty in the magic that no spell can create - Love.
A strange occurance with a passing stranger in which a conversation about how the land of Saavyn once was a place of beauty and happiness led the child to question about the mysterious Heart stone. Upon endless nights of secret study... we shall see if the determined child can bring the land of darkness back to light once more.

Please support my new efforts with comments not involving minor technicalities. This is an experimentation and is deeply a part of my heart. Criticism is a must, but more so, give me ideas for future images... how realistic this is... etc. This is a small step towards complex set design. I don't use props all that often, as most of my gallery is landscape... but all of the props here were carefully chosen and set up specifically. Make sure you look to the minor details--they are most important.
Noted on my journal, Minor post work done, images were too dark to be seen. Everything else, yes, even the glow, are natural to the photo. The grain was produced from the camera and blurred slightly for an intentional traditional painting feel.

Thank you all for your support. Comments are as are favorites.
Look for the rest in the collection.
